I started using my van properly,
having brought it at the end of 2008.
I was glad my wife and son enjoyed camping :D
I went to quite a few shows and loads of good
camping trips.
Have got my van looking pretty much how i want it.
Looking forward to another year of the same.
Oh and got another baby due in the summer :mrgreen:
Cheers Paul.

Best thing in 09: Getting my Bug painted. It looks great!

Worst thing in 09: Getting my Bug painted. It cost a bucketful of money.
 
In general the worst being self employed and hit hard by the recession.
The up side to this was spending more time with the family and enjoying two weeks surfing (badly) and relaxing in the bus in Cornwall in the summer.
